Techniques utilized included, but were not limited to: making posts invisible and inaccessible to the original poster; placing posters on moderation without seeking agreement from other moderators; diverting threads into blind alleys; engaging posters in endless debate on tiny, irrelevant points; baiting posters; trolling posters; and abusing posters.
Simkin was, as accurately described by Magda, routinely missing in action.
As were nearly all the alleged moderators and "forum leaders" whose virtual permanent absence left "moderation" of the board to Burton.
The Political Conspiracies section of the EF is now a deadzone.
Mission accomplished, Burton and "Colby" have now parked themselves in the JFK section - despite acknowledging zero knowledge or expertise regarding the subject in question.
The EF's treatment of Peter Lemkin, and destruction of his posts, was a disgrace.
It is diappointing that impartiality was not a criterion for selecting a mod. One has been in my shadow for years, disseminating misinformation.
John Simkin once said something to the effect that he wondered if CIA was trying to infiltrate the EF. I told him that with this new addition, the atmosphere had become so oppressive it was as though they had succeeded.
